US intelligence says Chinese satellite imagery of bases is helping Iran - Lemmy.World

A Chinese company’s publication of AI-enhanced satellite images of US bases in the Middle East is helping Iranian forces identify targets, US intelligence believes. The ABC has been briefed on the intelligence by a source inside US defence, who says the images are endangering lives. Chinese geospatial artificial intelligence and software company MizarVision, which the Chinese government has a small ownership stake in, has been publishing detailed satellite images with tagging data of multiple US military sites in the lead-up to, and during, the Iran war. The imagery showcases an AI tool that identifies and tags military forces across vast areas, a capability that once required the resources of a national intelligence agency.

And? Who gives a fuck. I would expect China and Russia to help Iran. Why wouldn’t they?

I do give a fuck. I’m glad they do because the only way I see for long term stability in that region, which affects my and my family’s life in multiple ways, is for the US to lose the war as badly as possible.

I think were pretty screwed either way. If they ramp down, Iran sees them as an existential threat and ramps up nuke capability, but now with less sanctions and more money. Iran with nukes makes Israel more twitchy as they see it as an existential threat.

If USA ramps up, we’re in for a long protracted war and instability.

So we’re screwed either way.

Lol, no. The world is safer with less nukes. Allowing Israel to get nukes was a failure of the international community.

Allowing Ukraine to face repurcussions for giving up their nukes was another failure.
